Title: not everything can be czech....?
Post by: Hel on December 05, 2011, 08:21:28 PM

Hello, I have gotten great responses to my queries!

What does this one say to ppl here?

Its 30 cm tall and 11 cm where its widest, the spatter is mostly white, a few brown.

Many thanks from Iceland!

I think you're right.  My immediate impression is Chinese. It's vaguely Italian looking with some splatter thrown on, and what looks like a poorly made unfinished base.

Interesting!

But now I fear I might have used the wrong word, that its speckled but not spatter?

Because the colours are not on the outside but inside the glass itself and got "pulled" with it

just wondering...

Hi:

I wouldn't worry too much about the terminology here.  I see both terms --splatter and spatter--being used almost interchangeably, and splatter seemed to me to describe this vase best. My bet would be Chinese.

I'd take speckled to mean the application of smaller pieces of colour. I think the terms are more used in conversation than in very technical discussions about glass..

Hope this helps.

Romanian is perhaps another option.

It is.
I call the pattern "splodgy" - but I think that's perhaps a bit colloquial.  :-[

"Splodgy" works me, Sue.  One of those words that just sounds great.
